Considerable concern and confusion exists about Medication-Related OsteoNecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) which can be a painful, prolonged and debilitating condition caused by the death of jaw bone. The most common class of drugs causing this rare problem is the bisphosphonate group of drugs, which resulted in the term Bisphosphonate-Related OsteoNecrosis of the Jaw previously being given the acronym BRONJ.

It offers some ideas on reducing those risks in a practical way.
